• 1 lb fettuccine
• 1 pot boiling pot of salted water
• 2 bunches fresh arugula
• 1/4 bunch sweet basil
• 1/4 bunch Italian parsley
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup pecorino cheese grated

• 3 T extra virgin olive oil

2. Place ricotta, pecorino, herbs, arugula, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper in food processor.
3. Process, while adding 2T olive oil or extra to form a smooth paste.

5. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
6. When water boils, add generous amount of salt and drop pasta.
7. Begin to sautee pancetta with 1T olive oil in a large medium-hot pan until its lightly crispy.
8. If the pancetta gets too crispy, add a little pasta water to stop the caramelization.
9. Once pasta reaches al dente, transfer to hot pan with cooked pancetta.
10. Toss the pancetta through, and fold in the arugula pesto, just to warm through.
11. Serve immediately.
